I am a fan of China，and interested in Chinese culrure very much. As I am getting married in the near future, and intend to pick a Chinese-style wedding dress which combines the traditional and modern style，which I feel would be a great idea. Does anyone have any ideas about this?

    Can you include a tea ceremony as part of your ceremony?

    Could you do a traditional Chinese dinner as your rehearsal dinner? A Dallas girl on our local boards did this, and she was able to go all out for the rehearsal dinner per her choice, and have a big traditional wedding per her FI's choice.

    I agree. Apeing other cultures because "omg it's like totally awesome!" Is disrespectful.

    However if you have roots or ties to the culture, or your FI does, carefully research and replicate the traditions, and perform them with reverence. They matter to people deeply, and that should matter to you.

    Yeah, that's a good point.  I'd find out what parts of Chinese culture would be acceptable to incorporate into your wedding, and then go from there.  So I retract my earlier suggestion if it's against Chinese culture.
